Riva del Bric is a portion of the Ginestra cru, with 25-year-old vines planted on a very steep, well-draining slope. The 2011 Barolo Riva del Bric offers a delicate and ethereal interpretation of Nebbiolo from a warm vintage. The bouquet reveals cola, cherry, wild berry and spicy balsam herb. Indeed, the wine's tangy balsamic signature is its defining characteristic. There is a fleeting note of sweet blackberry fruit on the finish.
